Striker of the national team of Ukraine Roman Yaremchuk may change his club registration in the coming days. As the authoritative insider Sasha Tavolieri informs, the French Lyon is seriously interested in the services of the Ukrainian forward.

Negotiations between the clubs are at the final stage. Grand League 1 plans to formalize the transfer of lease rights with the right of further redemption. The situation is developing so rapidly that the parties can strike hands today, even before the start of the Ajax-Olympiacos match. The fact that Yaremchuk was not included in the application of the Greek club for this match is indicative, which often indicates a close transfer.

Weavers head coach Paulo Fonseca will play a key role in the potential transition. Shakhtar’s ex-trainer is well acquainted with Roman’s capabilities and gave the green light to this transfer. Fonseca has an ambitious plan to integrate the Ukrainian into the tactical scheme.

He plans to use Yaremchuk in attack alongside Brazilian prodigy Endrik, who plays for Lyon on loan from Real Madrid. It is worth noting that the young Brazilian is currently in fantastic form: in three starting matches for the French club, he has already recorded 4 goals and 1 assist, regularly becoming the best player of the meetings.
